A deep snow


March 24. 

The night of the 24th, quite a deep snow covered the ground.

H. D. Thoreau, Journal, March 24, 1852

A deep snow covered the ground.
See March 30, 1856 (" The snow is a foot and more in depth there still."); March 26, 1857 ("Men will hardly believe me when I tell them of the thickness of snow and ice at this time last year.") Compare March 22, 1860 ("Colder yet, and a whitening of snow, some of it in the form of pellets, — . . . but melts about as fast as it falls.")


March 24. See A Book of the Seasons, by Henry Thoreau, March 24

The week ahead in Henry’s journal
A journal, a book that shall contain a record of all your joy.
"A stone fruit. Each one yields me a thought." ~ H. D. Thoreau, March 28, 1859


I sit on this rock
wrestling with the melody
that possesses me.
